>> he was himself and hit back when heap was attacked. there was -- when he was attacked. there was no doubt that he would be presidential. he refused to take the pledge that he would not run as an independent if he didn't get the nomination. for those that tried to take a shot at him, rand paul and fox, the news host there was a price. >> i can make the pledge if i'm the nominee i would demonstrate run as an independent. i'm discussing it with everybody. but i'm talking about leverage we want to win, and we will win. but i want to win as the republican i want to run as the republican nominee. politicians of all stripes - look he's hedging his bet on the clintons okay. >> mr trump, one of the things people love about you is you speak your mind and don't use a politicians filter. however, that is not woulent --

without its down sides in particular when it comes to women. you call women you don't like fat pigs, dogs disgusting animals. >> only rosie o'donnell. there's the thing about donald trump, he is hitting a nerve in this country. he is, he's hitting a nerve. people are frustrated fed up. they don't think the government so working for them. for people that want to tune him out, they are making a mistake. he has his solutions, some of us have other solutions. the republican party has been fighting against a single pair for a dick aid. i think you are on the wrong side of this if you argue for a single. >> i don't think you heard me. you are having a hard time. >> that was a shot back at rand paul. after rand paul and chris christie had the fierce confrontation, when they had a disagreement over the

government's collection of phone records. watch this. >> i want to collect more records from terrorists less records from innocent americans. >> senator, when you sit in a subcommittee blowing hot air about, you can say things like that. when you are responsible for protecting the lives of the american people then what you need to do is to make sure that... >> there's a problem. >>..that the system works. >> here is the problem, you misunderstand the bill of rights. every time you did a case you got a warrant from a judge. i'm talking about searches without warrants. >> there is no... >> indiscriminately of all records. that's what i fight to end. i don't trust obama with our records. i know you gave him a big hug, and if you want to give him a big hug, go right ahead. >> senator paul the hugs i remember are the hugs to families that lost their people on september 11th. >> that was something of a line

but an opportunity for all the kahned dates to hit their -- candidates to hit their line. most were able to do that. kassig on gay rights and others. watch this. >> the problem is we have a wall street to washington access to power that controls the political climate. the donor class feeds the political class that does the dance that the donor class wants. >> i don't believe the federal government should be involved correctly or indirectly. it is clearly a state responsibility. >> i advocated a proportional system. you make $10 billion, you pay one. everyone is treated the same way. you get rid of the deductions and the loopholes. >> quarters rolled. i said i would accept it. i went to a wedding of a friend who happens to be gay. because someone doesn't thing the way i do doesn't mine i

can't care about them or love them. >> scott walker was the only person in the clip. he had a quiet debate. he's among the top three, there's a buzz on the blockos fear that may be he was speaking more in cliches. no major mistakes or unforced areas. a lot of them hit powerful lines. it was definitely an entertaining debate. >> let's bring in michael in cleveland. >> i don't know if it was donald trump. it was watchable tonight. the question is did they learn anything of substance from them. >> i think, first of all, it was a good debate. the questioning was good. they arrived changing questions. and a lot of the raucous responses that the crowd gave to the candidate. i think we learnt a little bit. that jed bush is not comfortable debating. a lot of answers he was giving

are not the answers that his audience and the republican audience was looking for. i think the candidates learnt that when you debate donald trump, these are not substantive issue based seeds of knowledge, but debate donald trump, if you get in his face he will come at you. he was not out there shooting people down. >> was that a problem for donald trump, that he was not getting that many policy questions? >> well you know it could have been. i do think that they asked him a little about wlap makes up the mind - the political mind of donald trump on issues of banking, on issues of pro-life. you know his flip flopping. having the democrat. these are issues that matter to republicans. you have to remember that they are not speaking of america. trying to set donald trump apart. i think that is right. the conservatives were looking

to answer forcefully. it is essentially invisible. he is in his home state of ohio he gave substantive answers, answers that set him apart from the crowd. i'm modelled on gay rights. prisons. those are the answers that the audience responded to. the debate in portland it may not have been the same thing. i think that donald trump had to engage but he rises above that in his own way or step aside from it. the benefit speaks to the candidate that he is. very brash, very in your face the biggest contrast is that if you believe as an american that this country stings that we are losers everything is going wrong, you love what he says, this is not the time to worry about politically correct

tone. if america is great and wonderful things happen john kassig had a terrific night. a lot of how the debate plays depends on the point of view of the people watching it. >> undoubtedly. and the people who are watching it there, certainly seem to be eating it up. do you have a sense - do you have a sense - you mentioned that you thought scott walker and ted cruz did not do well. who do you think came out a clear winner or was there not? >> i said it all day, i think john kassig won not just in the states but by making it to the debate. by not being in what will be the forgotten phase. this was good television theatre, in the press room people rolled in the aisle in some of the changes. in terms of did we learn a tonne about the candidates. no. we learnt stylistically, and that you can moderate

successfully as the moderators did, and by asking checking questions, that will raise the leftof the debates going forward. kudos to them and john kassig for making it on to the stage. >> michael is right. john kassig is an identifiable winner and carlie from the undercar. she had a strong performance, here is the thing. there was a debate where donald trump did not lose. he may have come across as harsh, but there was no major mistake that donald trump made. nothing so controversial as he said when he made a comment about rapists or mexicans for that reason donald trump lives to fight another day, the same polling perhaps strong are stronger, like the fact that he said on his mind. michael shure, got to have you both do not for your insights on a powerful and interesting debate. this evening as based mentioned the polling candidates on fox,

most are saying that fehr eena came away as a winner during which the head of hewitt the packard took ail at trump and the clintons. >> i didn't get a phone call from bill clinton before i'm jumped in the race did any of you? >> i didn't. maybe because i didn't give money to the foundation or donated to his wife's campaign the democratic appeal said they'd hold debates in iowa new hampshire and south carolina. the last two in florida and wisconsin, after the iowa caucus on january 1st. the white house suffered a below in a bid to win concessional support. michael schumacher a powerful democrat, and the most influential in congress said he

would not vote for the deal. it schumer said that the real risk that iran would not moderate would pursue nefarious goals is too great. after study, support and soul-searching: shooum ir's decision coming hours after gillibrand said she would support the deal. >> in the house, new york congressman, a ranking members of the foreign affairs committee said he'd vote against the iran deal. >> the u.s. suffered a setback in effort to train and equip rebels to fight i.s.i.l. dozens of new syrian forces have been captured or fled the fighting altogether. jamie mcintyre has more from the pentagon. >> reporter: this video released

on social media purports to show u.s.-trained fighters captured by al nusra front, after an attack north of aleppo. the pentagon acknowledged that five troops were detain and a sixth killed, aattack that the pentagon admits it never saw coming, and which al nusra, a group tied to al qaeda touted as a blow to the u.s.-backed syrian forces. >> this unidentified fighter brags... on this day al nusra front cut a hand to the west and the americans. the pentagon's decision to imbed the 54 graduates with division 30, was based on a faulty u.s. intelligence assessment that al nusra was unlikely to attack forces in the north. the official line is that the unexpected is always expected in

war. we acknowledge that there's challenges, but the idea that we were caught flat-footed by the people kenning people into a war zone is not accurate. >> the u.s.-trained fighters were sent to syria with night vision equipment and laser target designators, allowing them to detect missiles. the air strikes inflicted casualties. the u.s. recruits started to leave their boats, saying they signed up to fight i.s.i.l., not al nusra front. questions have been asked about what appears to have been failure. >> reporter: would you say that the white house is disappointed, the president is disappointed. >> we have been forthright about the challenges the

operation has faced. but it's not significantly encumbered the other spects of our strategy the white house pointed to gains in northern syria as anti-i.s.i.l. forces moved in mile of the capital of raqqa. the progress has been made by u.s.-supported kurds who proved to be the most effective anti-i.s.i.l. forces on the battlefield. a coming up what could be more critical in the crash of mh370. more plane parts have been found, family members of victims refuse to believe they come from the missing airliner. also the white house manipulated a state department report on human trafficking. are certain countries granted better ratings for political reasons?

new debris has reportedly

been uncovered on reunion island. it includes a window and aluminum foil. other authorities have yet to confirm the claim. they have stopped short of confirming of malaysian's claim that aplane wing with tory was from mh370. adrian brown joins us from beijing. why are these continuing conflicting reports. why can't they get it together to give the final word? >> it does point to an inconsistency of message, there's no unified message from malaysian officials, from french officials and, to an extent from yes officials. that mixed message is adding to the anxiety of the families. they say how can the malaysian

prime minister say on thursday that the wing part was almost conclusive evidence that it was from mh370, and yet french prosecutors say that it was probably from mh370. so the language of the french is a lot more reserved. and some of the families i have been speaking to say we need a piece of evidence of proof that the plane has been lost. now, it seems hard for people now to understand that some of these families claim crazy theories about what may have happened. some believe it was high jacked that the bebry was fake -- debris was fake possibly planted. they are hostage to all fanciful theories, and what happened stirred up the emotions once more. behind me is a building where a short time ago some of the

families were do to receive a briefing. that has not happened. families demanded the media be allowed inside. now they are marching on the embassy to press their behinds. this is a battle that's been going on for 16 months. they have woken up with the same thought in their mind and gone to bed with the same thought in mind - what happened to loved ones. until, of course we find the flight recorders, we will not know the answers to the questions, whether it was an accident or indeed something more sinister. >> some of the families are not dubious, they are angry. >> they are angry, but also i think, it's fair to say that they are, you know in denial. i mean when you speak to them the psychological strain has

clearly taken its toll. there was a group of people we saw this morning who essentially packed up their lives, and live in a shabby apartment close to where i'm standing and devote themselves to badgering malaysia airlines. it's fair to say that what really underpins the anger that you mentioned is the feeling that the government in beijing, and malaysia is not showing enough sensitivity and sympathy to their flight. >> and a flight it is. sad. a year later. adrian brown, thank you for joining us from beijing. >> turning to the italian coast where hundreds of migrants are recovering after being saved from a ship the navy found them in an overcrowded vote off libya as it was cap sizing. the migrants were given food and medical treatment in sicily six. were airlifted to a hospital. officials brought back 25 bodies

of people who drowned, but there are reports the boat was carrying 600 migrants which could mean others are dying at sea. those on board fled conflict and poverty from countries across the middle east and africa. >> the obama administration is taking heat over a u.s. report on human trafficking. critics accusing the state department of changing country's rankings for political purposes. rahs rosalind jordan explains a senate committee is looking into the controversial report. >> reporter: sara is a state department official overseeing the annual trafficking persons and tip report, for 15 years. the report has been called a u.s. signature effort, highlighting countries that

don't do enough on relation to sex trafficking and child abuses. now, legislators suspect the reports were manipulated for the white house's political agenda. >> several months ago he heard reports close to this process, that this year's report was under exceptional pressure to shape the rankings for political demands, not the facts on the ground. >> seoul tried to address the concerns. >> there are multiplicity of use. the secretary takes them into account when making final decisions. >> reporter: but it didn't work, she never denied the political charges. senators that called the hearing said they think there's too much evidence suggesting otherwise. >> the main argument, the ranking of malaysia, among the worst offenders called tier 3 in the 2014 report. senators suspect that states move up in the yankings so the u.s. can continue to negotiate with it in the ongoing

transpacific partnership trade agreement talks. if malaysia stayed into the three, the u.s. legally cannot negotiate with it. in kuala lumpur, the secretary of state rejected suggestions that he was pressured to change malaysia's ranging to keep the talks on track. >> i'm confident it's the right decision made without regard to issues. >> the senators are unpersuaded. they'll take a closer look at how the report is put together. >> i'm putting you on notice. any destruction of emails, phone records or letters from 11.19 am on could have significant consequences. >> if there was any confirmation through the hearing, the senator reassured her that they would not blame her, and they promised they'll find out who is responsible for undermining a report once considered above reproach

legion airs disease has claimed 10 livers. all buildings that have cooling towers have been ordered to test for the legionella bacteria and were needed to disinfect still ahead - the high stakes world of video games. >> complexity takes it 2-0 competitive gamers now playing for big money.

in seattle competitors are gathering to play video games in front of sold out crowds. the winners take home cash well into seven fig ears. allen schauffler has more. >> reporter: yes, it's a game no it's not a game. opening ceremony rock star status from players, post-game shows streamed around the world. this is a major league feel. in their sky box the team from complexity gaming watches the first-rounds match. the international is the best chance for a big pay day. >> there's so much on the line. it means everything. they are zoned in. it's insane. it's high. >> the 20-somethings live and gather. playing it the full-time job.

they win early. fantasy play but the money is real. super bowl winner earned 97,000 this year, n.b.a. champion warriors, $250,000 apiece. the world series 388,000 for a san francisco giant. the international blows them away. members of the winning team pocket $1.2 million each. losest make guaranteed money. it's big business. the winners playing five different games in tournaments over the world. >> it's like n.a.s.c.a.r. these are my cars. we put it all over the jerseys and monetise in that fashion. >> seattle's key arena sold out the event in a matter of minutes. 20 million people watched live streams last year. this year's pool of $18 billion

is the best gaming pod ever. teams from asia and europe dominated the tournament. complexity american based and batting for recognition and cash hope to change that. >> it's still fun, still a game. now there's millions of eyes on me and i can bin millions of dollars. and it's - i'm still coming to terms that it's real. it's very very surreal to me. >> in seattle, where the game is the thing, i'm allen schauffler al jazeera the federal bureau of investigation record a rare strata various stone in boston in 1980. it's one of a few hundred owned by o soloist that died three years ago. his daughter a correspondent, said it disappeared after a performance 35 years ago, and resurfaced when a woman in new york had it praised, the ex-wife
